1570 She Would Definitely Not Agree The Next Time

Both of them ate silently throughout the meal.

After Beitang You was done, he placed his utensils down and looked at her silently.

There was braised chicken with chestnuts on the table, which Yaoyao really liked. She wanted to take more, but when she noticed him staring at her, she suddenly lost her appetite.

Her pretty brows furrowed. What was there to look at?

There were so many delicacies on the table. Were those dishes not enough to attract his attention?

She put down her chopsticks and wiped her lips with a handkerchief. She stood up and said, “I’m done with my meal. I’ll return to my room first.”

“Alright,” Beitang You replied and stood up as well.

When Yaoyao saw this, she quickly said, “There is no need to walk me back.”

Beitang You paused before looking at her with a smile. “I wasn’t planning to. I was about to return to the imperial study to continue working on my Palace Memorials.”

Yaoyao immediately felt embarrassed when she heard this. “Oh.”

“If you want me to walk you back, I’m more than willing to.” Beitang You came closer to her and looked at her with a smile.

Yaoyao quickly took a step back and looked at him warily. “There is no need to. It’s very close and I’ll be there in no time. You don’t need to walk me back. You should get going now since you’re busy.”

Beitang You had already lifted his hand to rub her head, but when he heard her words, he gave up on it.

“Yaoyao, I’m not some wild beast. There is no need for you to be so wary of me. I won’t force you to do anything. Your consent will always come first for me no matter what it is.”

Yaoyao looked at him in disbelief.

Did he ask for her consent when they were in the carriage just now?

He had kissed her so suddenly that she did not even have time to react.

Beitang You saw the distrust in her eyes and was immediately reminded of what happened in the carriage. This made him feel a little embarrassed. “Yaoyao, that was an anomaly. I promise you it won’t happen again.”

“Were you thinking about doing that again?” Yaoyao glared at him and pouted unhappily.

Beitang You could not help staring at her lips.

They were pink and tender, as though asking to be violated.

He gulped. “I promise to ask for your permission the next time. Alright, I’ll head to the imperial study now. You should return to your room.” With that, he turned to leave.

Yaoyao’s heart was still beating a little erratically as she watched him walk away.

It was only when she was back in her room and sat down to have a drink of water that she realized the meaning of the words Beitang You said before he left.

She slammed the cup onto the table and shouted, “Hooligan!”

She would never agree to it!

She pursed her lips.

Why was she still able to taste him after having her meal and drinking water?

She quickly gulped down another two cups of water.

Yaoyao wondered if it was psychological. After drinking two cups of water continuously, she could still taste Beitang You in her mouth.

She quickly went to gargle her mouth.

The sky had already turned dark after she had finished dealing with the issue.

Ling’er, the palace maid who was in charge of serving Yaoyao, came in to inquire if she wanted to take a bath.

“Yes. Please prepare it for me,” Yaoyao replied politely.

This was not Yaoyao’s territory, after all. She was just a guest here and was polite when spoken to.

Ling’er was pleasantly surprised. “You’re much too kind, Princess. It is my duty to serve you. Please wait while I get someone to prepare your bath.”

“Alright.” Yaoyao nodded with a smile.

After she was done with her bath, it was still early. Yaoyao ate an apple before getting into bed.

However, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Her mind was filled with the memory of Beitang You suddenly kissing her inside the carriage.

Perhaps she had tired herself out during the day, as she finally fell asleep after tossing and turning for a while.

When Beitang You returned, it was already late at night, but he instructed Chen Jin to summon Ling’er over anyway.

“Has the princess fallen asleep?”

“Yes,” Ling’er replied respectfully.
